What they have in common
Almost everything wonton wrapper carries, onion has too: 101 of wonton wrapper's 103 flavor molecules also occur in onion. Among the shared key aromas are isobutyraldehyde (malty, green) and eugenol (clove, spicy). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell.
